Savage Signs with Ministry of Sound

Following Aussie producer Joel Fletcher’s
triple platinum remix of Savage’s already worldwide smash
hit ‘Swing’, one of New Zealand’s most distinctive
rappers, Savage, has inked a deal with Ministry of
Sound.

Diverging into dance, the founding member of the
Deceptikonz will record a new EP with
Ministry of Sound, due for release in 2014.

Making his
mark across the Tasman, Savage has also recently played a
number of shows across Australia, from a series of headline
shows to festivals including Pacha Festival, Rhythm n Rhyme
and Breath of Life.

Savage & Joel Fletcher’s ‘Swing’
also hit #1 on the ARIA Australian Artist Singles charts, #2
on the singles charts and broke the Top 10 in the NZ artist
singles charts.

After a breakthrough international
placement in hit US comedy Knocked Up, the original
single was also certified platinum in the USA in November
2008 and currently stands at over 2 million singles
sold.
